Shannon VanZegeren - Nazareth Lyrics

All your winding roads and crooked paths
The ancient dust, kicked up and settled back
Was holy ground, but no one knew
He who dwelt with them had dwelt with angels, too
The summers hot, the winters cold
Repeat the stories of the prophets old
The years passed by, traditions kept
Passed down to the sons, the sons of Nazareth
Nazareth, did you know
Who lived within your walls and who called you home?
Those who passed Him by each day on the road
Would long forget the sacred stories never told
And I wonder when He turned His back and left
Did He weep for you, Nazareth?
His love for you brought Him back once more
From His mouth the words Isaiah said before
Amazement turned to bitterness
They drove Him out for good to the wilderness
Nazareth, did you know
Who lived within your walls and who called you home?
Those who passed Him by each day on the road
Would long forget the sacred stories never told
And I wonder when He turned His back and left
Did He weep for you?
A hallowed secret kept within your walls
The hometown of a king though your footprint be so small
No honor here they'd all too soon forget
The prophet priest and king
The prophet priest and king from
Nazareth did you know
Who lived within your walls and who called you home?
Those who passed Him by each day on the road
Would long forget the sacred stories never told
And I wonder when He turned His back and left
Did He weep for you, Nazareth?
